EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL COMO AMBIENTE DE PROTEÇÃO E GARANTIA DE DIREITOS SOCIAIS

This study aims to reflect on child protection within the scope of early childhood education in the light of intersectionality with a view to contributing to inclusive educational strategies. This production is the result of professional experience as a teacher who has been seeking to deepen her studies through continued training at master's level. The methodology that underlies this text is a theoretical-practical reflection, supported by the theory of intersectionality and analyzed in light of the social markers that are revealed in the concrete context of the school environment. As a result of this study, social lack of protection emerges as a result of Brazilian sociability, marked by profound inequalities and considering age group, social condition, territory of life, color, race and gender, this lack of protection intensifies. Such factors then demand a closer look at certain groups in their conditions for the purpose of consolidating protection and development strategies in the school environment that welcomes children.
